Post-War Tax Refunds
It looks now as though the 1942 Revenue 'Bill will not be
ready for Senate consideration until September. Meanwhile
business executives - and individuals sit on the anxious seat,
still not knowing* what their tax cost is to be.
Without going* into its many ramifications, the Revenue
Bill passed by the House falls far short of Jbeing an ideal
piece of legislation. If one fault can be singled out as its chief
shortcoming, it is its failure to provide for a post-war reconversion fund for corporations.
The schedule of corporation taxes in the House Revenue
Bill calls for taking away the lion's share of corporation
profits, leaving the companies little or no opportunity, to pile
up reserves to tide them oyer the period of inevitable letdown
of industry after the guns of battle have been silenced.
One has but to take into consideration that in the derepression period from 1930 to 1938, inclusive, incorporated
business paid over 25J/_ billion dollars in excess of current
earnings, a goodly. portion of which went to employees, to
realize the wisdom and the vital necessity of allowing corporations to pile up reserves during profitable periods of operation.
We hate to think of what would have happened to this
nation during that period, had the corporations not possessed
this vast back-log. We must make sure that they will have
ample reserves with which to enter the next period of unprofitable operation. We must insist that the Senate pass a
Revenue Bill providing for post-war tax refunds, to corporations, so that they will nbt enter the post-war period with
their exchequers depleted to the point of exhaustion, with no
dollars to pass out in excess of current earnings.
Labor should take a keen interest in this Revenue* Bill,
* for the workers of .this county- will b^.-jhtt^gi'.^lest sa__vrer&»
in -the*p"ost-war peHod bf i-*eadjustment.*No matter what sort
of a Revenue Act is finally passed, there is bound to-be considerable unemployment. Corporations will not be able to
turn from war to peace production in the twinkling of an
eye. But with adequate reserves on hand, the corporations
would be able to shorten the conversion period and unera-
^ployment would be much less severe.
The Senators are waiting to hear from the electors. Why
not let your two Senators know at once that they must include in the Senate Revenue Bill, a provision for post-war tax
refunds to corporations, and that further they must insist
that the final Bill enacted by both Houses of Congress must
contain such a provision?
To Help Win the War
The kitchens of the nation are in this war too and you
ancl I are soldiers of production. A different kind of production, to be sure, from that which is taking place in the plants
and factories of the United States, for what we have to produce are health and endurance and good spirits in the members of our families—and in ourselves.
^ Look at your pots and pans in a shining row above your
^kitchen tables or stacked neatly in one of your cupboards.
They are the tools for your all-important job of producing
the right foods for your family. Not foods that merely taste
good—although that's important. But foods that deliver all
the vitamins, all the mineral salts, all the energy elements
a human body needs for functioning on high through long*
hard days of work.
Instructions for proper nutrition are on every hand today. The food industry is spreading the news in its advertising. Magazines are carrying stories about it. The government
is sending out information about it and the Red Cross is holding nutrition classes all over the country.
So let's take our job of food preparation seriously. Let's
see that each day's meals contain all of the basic food elements. And if some member of your family is working at a
war production job, look after his diet especially. For our war
workers need to be on the job every day these coming
months, since battles can be won only when there are enough
tanks and guns and planes on the fighting front.
At present over 8 million lunches are packed for war
workers every day. If one of those lunches comes out of your
kitchen, see that it measures up to the standards set by the
nutrition experts. See that it contains at least one vegetable
and some fruit as well as hearty, energy-building sandwiches
and a refreshing nourishing drink. See that it's a lunch a
*f|_ian—or woman—can work on. And have it fit in with the
meals he eats at home so that the day's intake of food is balanced.

Saturday evening will provide a big finale to most summer activities as the*North Canton Legionaires stage their
annual festival, this year in Witwer park.
A big evening of fun for all the family has been scheduled and plans were completed at a special meeting of the
Legion Monday evening.
Harrison Cline is chairman of the
grounds and he promises plenty cf
parking space for those who corns,
as the grounds near the ball park
will he used for this purpose.
Earl Herbruck, chaiiiran' of the
concessions, also assures those
who plan to come that there will
be plenty of entertainment for the
evening with ball and bottle games,
bingo and other amusements.
The North Canton high school
band will make its first appearance
in several months, under the direction of George Nickles.
There will be the usual line of re- i
freshments at a Legion festival,
with ice cream, cake and soft
drinks the favorites of the festival-goers.
The program is scheduled to get
under way at 8 o'clock and will last
as long as the people remain there.
Originally scheduled for earlier in
the,year it was cancelled and then
planned for this Saturday evenir.-?.
Legionaires will meet at the park
Friday evening and Saturday afternoon to set up the equipment for
the festival. For those who get
tired of walking around the
grounds there will be benches provided for them to sit upon.
Please Keep Oogs Quiet
Most folks like dogs and few
will dispute tlie fact that they are
one of man's best friends. But to
a war worker who must sleep at
all odd hours, patience wears thin
when som& dog barks continually
when they are trying to get their
regular sleep.
Complaints have reached the village hall week after w_sk of dogs,
-tied in some small place, which
bark cr ho\td almost constantly. As
3 safety measure it is necessary
that 'the nets must be kept at
home', and that usually means tying them.
However, if thev have enough
water during tho hot days and
food enough to satisfy them, that
may help prevent any discomfort
on their pa it ard pievent them
from annoying their neighbors.
In cases where the animal barks
seemingly without reason, a little
more training may teach him to be
quiet.
Today with so . many persons
working on war pioduction and
sleeping during all hours, it is
highly nrcessary that all persons
cooperate in maintaining as much
quiet as possible around the home.
The olea of most war workers today is, "Please keep thin ors quiet
so that we can sret our sleep >„d
we will keep nroduction moving as
fast .as possible."
New Method Faster Than
Others, Save Valuable Shipping Space
V-Mail—Victory Mail for the
soldiers overseas—has successfully
passed its experimental stage and
those who write to men in service
are urged to use it whenever possible.
The service- was first started on
June 15 and has rapidly found
favor with the post office department, the war department and
those who have already used it.
V-letters are letters written on
special form stationery, photographed and after the films have
reached their destination, ara reproduced and mailed on to the person to whom they are addressed.
They can be photographed at the
rate of 2,000 to 2,500 letters per
hour and each roll of film contains
1,500 letters.
The great advantage of using
this type cf letter is that it saves
valuable shipping space which can
then be used for more vital war
supplies. In recognition of this,
and in an effort to insure delivery
of mail to as many men as possible
at overseas destinations when
space is limited, the War and Navy

Officers Ask More Coopera
tion as Arrests for Law Infractions Increase
Careless driving along public
highways still remains the chief
cause for arrest of drivers in this
vicinity, as local police officers and
deputy sheriffs arrested thirteen
motorists for violation of traffic
laws within the past few days.
In each case those who were ar-
lested were guilty of some law infraction which was dangerous to
either themselves or others, although they may have seemed
minor to the driver.
With the state and national officials .asking for full cooperation
in keeping traffic accidents to a
minimum in order to conserve
strength and materials for the war
effort, local police officers are continuing strict enforcement of traffic laws, hoping for the greatest
cooperation of all motorists.
Those who were arrested by village officers were William Dunn of
Steubenville, Nick Hansen of Canton, Garlon I Walter Brown of Bolivar, Stanley Laskea of Cleveland,
James Walter of Canton, Chester
Domer of R. D. 7, James Barnard
Newcomer of Canton, Larry Simpson of Lansing, Mich., Betty Jane

Great Lakes Gets Aircraft Carrier
Our food industry, which is sending millions of pounds
of food overseas, is still providing us with everything' we can
possibly need. Let's see that we do our part in using it effectively so that our families will be energetic, confident, cold-
free and courageous all this coming winter.. Let's stop wishing we could be a WAAC or a Wave or a worker on the industrial' assembly line and do our all important job of food

Rubber, Rags, Metal in Collection Made By Village Truck,
Four Men on Saturday; Thanks Due All Those Who Cooperated fin Boosting Drive
A few more tons of scrap metal will soon be on their way
to the hungry steel furnaces of America and a few more
guns, perhaps a tank or two and more fighting equipment
will be sent on its way to some far-off battlefront to protect
those American lads stationed there in the. defense of their
country.
All of this because industrious
peisons in North Canton took time
out last week to collect a few odd
pieces of scrap metal, a few moM
uncounted scraps of rubber waste
and contributed it to the junk driye
conducted heie last week.
According tc- word fiom Harrison Cline, sciap collection chairman, the results of the diive were
fair. More rubber was collected
than had been expected and while
the metal received did not total as
much as it had in the previous collection, it was a fair amount.
All day Saturday, until late in
the afternoon a village truck went
through North Canton, picking up
junk which had been piled at the
curb waiting for it. Those who assisted Mr. Cline were Tom Musgrave, George Weaver and Kenneth
Kauffman.
Boy Scouts were assigned to
make a door to doer canvass of
the village on Friday to tell th_
residents to get their sciap ready
for collection.
Rubber, rags and all types of
metal were added to the pile which
was started on the village hall
grounds..

Save Scrap Grease,
Housewives Asked
CHICAGO, ILL.—The former excursion boat, The S. S. Seeandbee, has been rebuilt into the first
Gieat Lakes' Aircraft Carrier, and the photo shows the rebuilt ship as she was commissioned here last
Saturday as the U. S. S. Wolverine. Navy planes were flying above it during commissioning ceremonies.
Local Butchers Act as Collection Centers for Government
For any North Canton housewife
who is in doubt about saving her
scrap grease, there is definite information that butchers in the village are taking the salvaged material and sending it on to the Tenderers for government use.
Those who are saving their scrap,
and that should include everyone,
are asked to keep it in cans, coffee
cans or any other kind will do. It
should be strained to keep out all
foreign matter. When there is a
pound or .more take it to the butcher in one of the local stores. He
will pay several cents a pound for
it. Each week it is picked up by a
representative of a rendering plant
and is sent on to the government
for use in making munitions.
Saving scrap grease and fat is
another way in which every housewife can do her part in winning the
war—and it can be done right
away.

the village, contacting all
women who are interested in
a course on "Air Raid Defense

own community.
Points for consideration by the
committee will be how to take care
of other persons if their homes are
destroyed and they are moved into this community and how to feed
a large group if that becomes necessary. A salvage program for fats
and other essential materials will
also be studied.

those who write to men in service
are urged to use it whenever possible.
The service- was first started on
June 15 and has rapidly found
favor with the post office department, the war department and
those who have already used it.
V-letters are letters written on
special form stationery, photographed and after the films have
reached their destination, ara reproduced and mailed on to the person to whom they are addressed.
They can be photographed at the
rate of 2,000 to 2,500 letters per
hour and each roll of film contains
1,500 letters.
The great advantage of using
this type cf letter is that it saves
valuable shipping space which can
then be used for more vital war
supplies. In recognition of this,
and in an effort to insure delivery
of mail to as many men as possible

Officers Ask More Coopera
tion as Arrests for Law Infractions Increase
Careless driving along public
highways still remains the chief
cause for arrest of drivers in this
vicinity, as local police officers and
deputy sheriffs arrested thirteen
motorists for violation of traffic
laws within the past few days.
In each case those who were ar-
lested were guilty of some law infraction which was dangerous to
either themselves or others, although they may have seemed
minor to the driver.
With the state and national officials .asking for full cooperation
in keeping traffic accidents to a
minimum in order to conserve
strength and materials for the war
effort, local police officers are continuing strict enforcement of traffic laws, hoping for the greatest
cooperation of all motorists.
Those who were arrested by village officers were William Dunn of
Steubenville, Nick Hansen of Canton, Garlon I Walter Brown of Bolivar, Stanley Laskea of Cleveland,
James Walter of Canton, Chester
Domer of R. D. 7, James Barnard
Newcomer of Canton, Larry Simpson of Lansing, Mich., Betty Jane

Rubber, Rags, Metal in Collection Made By Village Truck,
Four Men on Saturday; Thanks Due All Those Who Cooperated fin Boosting Drive
A few more tons of scrap metal will soon be on their way
to the hungry steel furnaces of America and a few more
guns, perhaps a tank or two and more fighting equipment
will be sent on its way to some far-off battlefront to protect
those American lads stationed there in the. defense of their
country.
All of this because industrious
peisons in North Canton took time
out last week to collect a few odd
pieces of scrap metal, a few moM
uncounted scraps of rubber waste
and contributed it to the junk driye
conducted heie last week.
According tc- word fiom Harrison Cline, sciap collection chairman, the results of the diive were
fair. More rubber was collected
than had been expected and while
the metal received did not total as
much as it had in the previous collection, it was a fair amount.
All day Saturday, until late in
the afternoon a village truck went
through North Canton, picking up
junk which had been piled at the
curb waiting for it. Those who assisted Mr. Cline were Tom Musgrave, George Weaver and Kenneth
Kauffman.
Boy Scouts were assigned to
make a door to doer canvass of
the village on Friday to tell th_
residents to get their sciap ready
for collection.
Rubber, rags and all types of
metal were added to the pile which
was started on the village hall
grounds..

Save Scrap Grease,
Housewives Asked
CHICAGO, ILL.—The former excursion boat, The S. S. Seeandbee, has been rebuilt into the first
Gieat Lakes' Aircraft Carrier, and the photo shows the rebuilt ship as she was commissioned here last
Saturday as the U. S. S. Wolverine. Navy planes were flying above it during commissioning ceremonies.
Local Butchers Act as Collection Centers for Government
For any North Canton housewife
who is in doubt about saving her
scrap grease, there is definite information that butchers in the village are taking the salvaged material and sending it on to the Tenderers for government use.
Those who are saving their scrap,
and that should include everyone,
are asked to keep it in cans, coffee
cans or any other kind will do. It
should be strained to keep out all
foreign matter. When there is a
pound or .more take it to the butcher in one of the local stores. He
will pay several cents a pound for
it. Each week it is picked up by a
representative of a rendering plant
and is sent on to the government
for use in making munitions.
Saving scrap grease and fat is
another way in which every housewife can do her part in winning the
war—and it can be done right
away.
